Kevin Durant (foot) had bone graft surgery for the fifth metatarsal of his right foot on Tuesday and is expected to miss the next four to six months.

While we've yet to see a team say a surgery was unsuccessful, it's worth noting that the Thunder deemed the surgery a success. The optimistic end of Durant's timetable would put him back on the court by training camp, while the longer end of of that timetable would having him returning at some point in October. We'll be keeping close tabs on Durant's recovery, but the 2015-16 season will mark the first in years where he's not the top option in fantasy drafts. Mar 31 - 11:38 AM

Kevin Durant (foot) will have season-ending foot surgery and will be held out of basketball activities for 4-6 months.

He is going to have a bone graft procedure because he is "showing signs of regression," according to the team. This will be his third surgery on his right foot and he's not a complete lock to be ready for training camp. If Durant needs six months to get back to basketball-related activity, he'll be looking at an October return. After five consecutive seasons of being the number one player in fantasy leagues, Durant's fantasy stock has plummeted more than almost anyone could have imagined. We hope we see the 2013-14 KD next season. Mar 27 - 2:55 PM

Thunder GM Sam Presti held a press conference on Friday in which he announced that Kevin Durant will be "removed from all basketball activities" and he will be "out indefinitely."

Durant, a guy who has been remarkably healthy throughout his career, has missed 45 games and counting this season. Presti said that until Durant is able to return to the floor without experiencing soreness, he will remain sidelined, and acknowledged that a shutdown is the current direction that OKC is headed. "If that takes the rest of the regular season, if that takes the rest of the playoffs, that’s what it takes," said Presti. If your team is fighting to make it through the first round of the fantasy playoffs, it makes sense to drop Durant at this point in all re-draft leagues. With Serge Ibaka (knee) and Durant out, Russell Westbrook is going to be an absolute monster. Mar 20 - 12:39 PM

Kevin Durant did not practice on Thursday due to soreness in his right foot, and he will not play Friday vs. the Hawks.

Scott Brooks downplayed Durant's absence from Thursday's practice, saying that soreness in his foot is to be expected, but at this point there's no telling when or if Durant will be able to return this season. Foot injuries are very tricky, and Brooks described Durant's rehab as having "peaks and valleys," so we'll be considering him on the doubtful side of questionable for Sunday's game against Miami. Russell Westbrook will be very busy on Friday if Enes Kanter (ankle) is also unable to go. Stay tuned. Mar 19 - 2:19 PM

That would mean he has a chance to miss the rest of the regular season. It also means the Thunder had another noteworthy injury for what seems to be like every game for the past five games. With Roberson out, Kyle Singler would start, but isn't a fantasy option. Russell Westbrook will be a beast.

Serge Ibaka (knee) said on Saturday that he hopes his 4-6 week timetable is only 3-4 weeks.

According to the earlier timetable, the earliest Ibaka would have returned would be on the regular season finale. With the new timetable, he's still looking at a best-case scenario playing on Apr. 10 for the last four games of the season. OKC said they were going to be very careful with Kevin Durant (foot), so one would think they'd do the same with Ibaka. He can remain on the wire in almost all leagues.

Head coach Scott Brooks said that Nick Collison will be out for "at least 10 days" with a sprained left ankle.

Collison was seen using crutches after the game, so this news isn't too surprising. This is obviously a devastating blow for the Thunder, as they are already extremely shorthanded. Serge Ibaka (knee) and Kevin Durant (foot) won't be back anytime soon, and Enes Kanter is struggling with an ankle issue, meaning Steven Adams and Mitch McGary will have to do their best to fill the void for the depleted Thunder, with Adams being the primary beneficiary. We will update Collison's status when we know more, but he can be dropped in just about all leagues.
